Fusion Authority Quarterly Update

May 28, 2008
May has been a quiet month on the blog because it has been an extremely busy month at Broadchoice. We completed our 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 releases and launched the new platform with a fair bit of press coverage.

The platform is powered by ColdFusion 8.0.1, running Model-Glue 2 (BER), ColdSpring 1.2 BER and Transfer 1.0 BER and runs on a cluster of 64-bit Linux servers with synchronization of the Transfer cache managed through a set of ActiveMQ JMS server instances. The database is MySQL.

We're continuing to work on a stream of minor releases as well as planning our next major release with a lot of new features.

I'll be pulling together some presentations and articles about how we're using the frameworks together (because I think we're doing some interesting and unusual things, behind the scenes). I'll some a few snippets of code at Scotch in both of my presentations (and again at CFUNITED). I'm talking to the CFDevcon organizers about appropriate topics and they suggested a framework-related session so that might be the first unveiling of some of our ColdSpring / Transfer tricks and tips. I expect Ray will also be blogging about some aspects of our application architecture in due course.

Feel free to sign up for a free Broadchoice account and see what we've been up to! Our support site (also powered by the Broadchoice Web Platform, as is our public website - we like to eat our own dog food!) has several ways for you to provide feedback to us!

The CFDevCon 2008 website just launched with details about the location and an initial list of speakers and topics. September 25-26, Brighton, UK.

As you can see, no topic is listed for me yet. My talk (or talks, perhaps) at CFDevCon 2008 will be brand new so if you catch me at Scotch on the Rocks, you'll still get all new content in Brighton, later in the year.

With that in mind, what would you like to hear me talk about? I have a few ideas, based on my work at Broadchoice with Model-Glue, ColdSpring and Transfer, but I'm happy to entertain suggestions from folks who might attend CFDevCon 2008 in Brighton in September!
